The growing intellectual void that has found itself within the Republican Party's base of supporters alarms me. People like Rep. Campbell, Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck knowingly perpetuate the rediculous notion that Barrack Obama is not a naturalized citizen of the United States of America eventhough many, many, many journalists have confirmed that he is, in fact, an American citizen.

This concerns me. Obama is prime for legitimate criticism. For instance the healthcare bill has some major and potentially devistating issues, transparency has not been a first priority of the administration and the first round (yes I wrote that) of stimulus is not moving money into infrastructure projects nearly as quickly as needed ,which actually would create jobs and improve the fortunes of small and medium sized business. He seems to be doing a full day interview with every media outlet that asks (seems like every single day - BTW how can any of the media outlets claim it is an exclusive?) making him the chief executive of PR.

Republican/conservative talking heads, President Obama is serving you up softball after softball and you continue to focus on issues that were settled more than a year ago. Give it up, he is president. Now is the time to be grownups and focus on how we can collectively help him improve healthcare, improve the economy and solve our energy crisis. That doesn't mean agree with him on every issue but help find common ground and allow yourselves a seat at the table. Help bring back conservative intellectualism, create a strong position and argue it with conviction - be more like George Will than Sarah Palin!
